A Mere Glimpse of Antiquity! III
A Mere Glimpse of Antiquity! III
Chronos considered this milestone being one fourth of the way there, which gave the shocking timeline of another three or four weeks at most before enough accumulation of essence had occurred and then….
Antiquity!
THRUM!
There was a vibration of essence from the Universal Constructs located in the 9 Universes currently under lockdown. The Hegemony of Necromancy and the Goliath still remained in the Necrotic Universe as they watched Noah's Legions continue forward after defeating 20 Incarnations of Chaos.
Their eyes looked towards the Universal Construct that the Hegemony of Necromancy was tasked with protecting as at this moment...the cocoon like structure of the Universal Construct began to thump like a beating heart as with every beat, there was a rapid awakening of a shocking power that nobody in the Primordial Cosmos had come across before!
In the Automaton Universe, in front of the Universal Construct that the Mechanical Hegemony protected while keeping 80 Seeds of Chaos close at hand...a similar phenomenon occurred as a pulsing heart beat began to resound from the Universal Construct.
This phenomenon occurred in all 9 affected Universes as they brought with them a shocking feeling of awe and power, Chronos staring at the cocoon like Construct in the Animus Universe as his eyes shone with a glorious light!
"It is here…"
THUMP!!
The gaze of Chronos was that of utter fervor and might as a terrifying aura pulsed from the Universal Constructs that very closely resembled cocoons at this moment, these cocoons pulsing as if they were resonating to a heart beat as with every thump, waves of crimson light were released across the vast Universes!
THUMP!
The heart beat faster and faster as it seemed like a symphony about to reach a crescendo, this sound spreading to every living thing within the Universes as Noah's figure gazed towards the direction of the Universal Construct in the Necrotic Universe with a somber expression.
THUMP!
The star of conquest above his head pulsed with power, washing down pure white essence unto him as at this moment, a crimson essence began to come out in waves along with every single beat of the Universal Constructs.
His legions came to a stop as they observed this phenomenon with immense somberness in the Necrotic and Automaton Universe.
The Hegemonies outside of these Universes also felt this shocking phenomenon as many were alerted, Oathkeeper having already been closely observing the Necrotic and Automaton Universes when the phenomenon began as his body had already begun to light up with Primordial Essence!
WAAA!
The sounds of heart beats reached a crescendo as each of the Universal Constructs began to glimmer with a brilliant crimson light that went on to spread out and cover every single corner of the 9 Universes.
When this light passed through planetary bodies, void of space, and galaxies, they shuddered from its sheer pressure!
When they passed through living beings...something even more shocking occurred as many would not be able to understand what was happening, but a certain someone who had a system that could quantify many things was able to understand most of it right away.
Noah was one of the many beings to feel the crimson wave of light emanate from a far away Universal Construct and wash over everything, a unique phenomenon occurring within his body as the moment this light passed...he felt as if a large number of shackles were placed onto him!
Shackles!
This was the only way he could describe it as it wasn't until a second later that a blue text box began to buzz with words in front of him, gradually spitting out what was occurring as Noah's eyes opened wide with shock at every word he read.
[Under the Influence of a portion of the aura of The Great Usurper. The effects of Corruption of the Usurper, Malignant Madness, and Heretical Malediction are applied.]
…!
THRUM!
Noah's eyes shone with shock as he felt the surroundings drastically change, his body seemingly constricted on all sides at this moment as the first blue text box went away, his eyes focusing on a few select words on it as more information appeared in front of him!
[Corruption of the Usurper](Initial) :: Those not under the protection of the Great Usurper gain the Corrupted Status directly on their souls as their Mana and Health Regeneration are reduced by half, the Damage Taken from other sources is increased by 10,000%, -10,000% To All Laws and Dao Resistances, -10,000% Comprehension and Assimilation Ability to all Laws and Daos, -50% Life Force, -50% Reduction in All Attributes, -50% Effectiveness of All Abilities, -50% Mana Reserves, -50% Movement Speed, -50% Attack Speed, -50% Cast Speed, -50% Efficiency of Mana Conduction and Usage, and 50% Chance of Skills Failing on Cast.

[Heretical Malediction] :: Once one remains in the presence of the aura of the Great Usurper without protecting themselves from it invading their Origins, a Malediction blooms within their souls as it will eventually devour them and cause the emergence of the Followers of the Usurper. Heretical Malediction causes a metamorphosis of the body and soul that is unchangeable once it has taken place. The time of initial change is around 14 Cosmic Days.
…!
A shocking set of debuffs brought about by a mere aura of an existence that was being called out to by Chronos and the others!
The corruption of the Usurper...he could not even defend against it as anyone within the boundaries of the 9 Universes had this effect applied directly to their souls. One could not even defend against it!
It stemmed from the cocoon-like Universal Constructs, but as mentioned from the status effects Noah was seeing, it was merely an aura of a being. A mere portion of it.
At this moment, those living within the 9 affected universes felt the shocking wave of a mere portion of an aura of Antiquity. Just a mere glimpse of Antiquity that nearly caused every existence in the 9 Universes to fall to their knees!
Just a glimpse!
